The three bedrooms, all themed, include a Romeo-Juliet bedroom, and the interior porch is guarded by a medieval knight. The land has gardens, a gazebo near a pond and a fountain.
Critics say: “The chateau blew us away – it was everything we hoped for. Spacious, romantic, beautiful and the decor was fabulous and immaculately detailed.
